[Vibrant General] jimmytran817:
I had same issue with contacts sync with facebook images. But i found a work around. When you add facebook accounts and sync. Enable fackbook contacts and facebook contact images. Now it will dump all your facebook contacts to your phone, but it will categorize it. once you do that, it will link your say "gmail contact" and "facebook" contacts together, On the contacts that you have different nicknames, you can click on the contact and select linked contact, select facebook and choose your friends contact info and now my images matches. Looks better now. Hope i only have to do this once.

Good Luck and this is my first post. :)

Cell Phone (2 years) to Blackberry (9 years) to iPhone (2 Years) to G1 Android (2 months) to iPhone (1 year) to SAMSUNG VIBRANT (love this phone)
[Vibrant General] gootman:
Mine finally started working. I had to goto into Contacts, hit menu, and select "Get Friends" and choose my Facebook and Twitter accounts. Took a couple minutes and my contacts were linked.
[Vibrant General] designerfx:
Noted.mine worked today too. Maybe they fixed it?
[Vibrant General] Cuda1337:
Mines still not working. Ive tried removing account, removing it via facebook as well and then readding it multiple times. Nothing has worked so far. Frustrating.
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
mine works all of a sudden now :D
[Vibrant General] Cuda1337:
jerk.... rub it in ! lol
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
i *finally* got my facebook one working by removing the link (on the computer) on my facebook account under application settings, removing it from my vibrant, rebooting phone and readdding it.

tried the same with twitter and it appears no luck there :(
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
lol ok rub rub rubbing it in MINE WORKS!!!! lol but yeah ive had the problem for days but worked all of a sudden... does anyone else have data problems where it all of a sudden drops?
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
I ended up getting frustrated with facebook not syncing after 3 days and just removed all authorized apps from facebook. Then re added the account through the phone and it started working.
[Vibrant General] papawu:
Aphotix that worked for me.

This what I did and it worked for me.

1) Log into facebook in your browser(PC).

2) Click on "Account" in the top right corner. In the drop down choose "Application Settings".

3) Delete the "Samsung Mobile" application.

4) Delete the Facebook account on your Vibrant and re-add it.
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
Mine started working too. Fortunately I already got a sync in when I got it so no big deal.

[Vibrant General] moonrock:
So there are all these tricks to getting the FB sync to work but what about Twitter? I havent gotten that one to work AT ALL. It shows up in my "Updates" tab so I know that I am properly logged in, but no contacts:(
[Vibrant General] trey48fan:
Yes, I am having this problem. The data connection will go away at random times. Very frustrating. Any ideas on this?
[Vibrant General] Morbo66:
A little off topic ... but didn't want to start a new thread.

Pictures taken with the camera - when i go to share - facebook isn't listed. Has everything else, DLNA, email, text, btooth, etc. Just not facebook.

Account is synced and the widget is working fine with wall updates. Don't tell me I have to install the stupid facebook app just to share photos taken with my camera?
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I believe so. The syncing built into TouchWiz isn't for sharing photos and the such, obviously.

However, you might want to start a new thread since it has nothing to do with this one.
[Vibrant General] fudo jay:
did it just start working randomly?
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
oh have been waiting for a week and now it works.
[Vibrant General] mightykc:
Genius! This worked! Thanks
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Woo! This worked for me. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I tried all the tricks above with no luck, so I finally called tmobile and I got the dumbest response EVER (or at least I thought). the rep told me to "pull the battery for 3 seconds and restar the phone, that should do the trick" but NOT to turn off the phone first... I said yeah ok, aand hung up, but since you never know, I actually did it, pulled the battery and guess what!!!!!!!! the freaking thing worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure if it just started working at that time like for other people or it actually resets something when u pull the battery, anyways, it doesn't hurt to try
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
If it work then it is not dumb. Thanks for sharing this trick.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I didn't mean it like that. I meant that my first thought was that it was dumb, that I would have probably done that before calling, but I hadn't and it worked!!
[Vibrant General] LTonthetrack_G1:
It sitll wont sync!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!!
[Vibrant General] IrieBro:
My fb calendar will not sync. I have tried everything listed here. Is it supposed to or did fb change something? Since one of the last fb app updates.
[Vibrant General] zumbahlenm:
i notice mine goes back and forth from synced to not syncing, all those tricks work for some people and dont for others. They are worth the try. But i think if you have synced it once before than just give it time. my suspicion would be the interaction of facebook letting it sync not so much the phone
[Vibrant General] RegnierD:
Have you tried a re-log?

I was having the same problem with my Droid Incredible, but when I went into the dirdctory for Facebook and tried logging out and then logging back in as an act of desperation, I then was able to re-sync the Facebook directory and all of my conacts showed up again.
[Vibrant General] IrieBro:
You are right. Now I'm syncing the calendar like nothing was ever wrong.
[Vibrant General] Mrs.cruetes:
Fixed mine

My problem was i could go into accounts...hit the "add account" button... then hit "Facebook" but it would take me back to the sync'd accounts page. So if its as simple as this for you... try this:

For your contacts to Sync with Facebook, you'll need to launch the Facebook app on your phone and get into the settings, then tell it to "Sync all" so that your contacts are updated/merged with Facebook contacts. You may have to also go within your Contacts application and "add" your Facebook account to get the sync to work again, but you need to start with the Facebook app, and make sure it is set to Sync with your Contacts.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Rosco911:
Where can I get/find the stock X10 icons?...

Please help, thank u!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] yetep:
Your phone :-D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Chewitt:
Install Ninjamorph from the market (Root is needed)

Then click on New Project, for the standard apps on the phone go to system then app.

once in there you can find all your apps, click on one of them for instance AlarmClock.apk

It will the extract the files onto your SD card into the AndroidThemes/Workspace/AlarmClockapk

Look in the res folder in there and there is the icon, do the same for every app you want the icons for and you have them.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] theSpam:
As we all know, our Heros can be overclocked to different maximum frequencies depending on how lucky we are. So, I'm starting this thread because I'm curious as to how various Heros overclock.

To start off, my Hero is stable at 730MHz. It's the North American 3G version issued by Telus in Canada.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
I was running at 710MHz but that was the limit of the kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
749 MHz, the limit of the kernel. But the phone runs faster on flykernel at 749 than another one I had at 800 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
GIYF 10 char
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tolis626:
Well,I am a lucky guy obviously!My Hero can overclock @768 and be stable enough,but as the Gallery app crashes at this frequency(dunno why) I use it @749.But maximum overclock?800 MHz for a little less than a minute! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
768 max, 19 min :-) :-) :-)

Iirc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] act-xda:
I have overclocked etc phones before but I am reluctant to do so on my hero (original ROM 2.1 intact). If I may ask, is it setCPU being used to overclock? Does the phone need to be rooted?

My Hero, and the XDA app, made this post possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theSpam:
Yes, the phone needs to be rooted in order to overclock.

I personally use Overclock Widget but I think SetCPU works as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azure465:
710mhz works fine for me. 748 is very unstable and keeps rebooting
[Hero, G2 Touch General] UbuntuBhoy:
Running @ 748 on 3uk bought about 5 months ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Just got 768MHz running. Not sure how stable yet, time will tell. XD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
Well I can only manage 698 :( I can push it to 710MHz but it locks up if I put any strain on the CPU (forcing SetCPU to actually ramp up the clocks past 698).

It sux to be me I suppose
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m0jo:
My kernel only lets me overlock to 691 Mhz (EzHero default kernel). Where can i get a kernel wich allows higher values?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Dev needs to create or edit the kernel to allow higher values. Kernels are rom specific.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Running stable at 710mhz on a 5month old Hero. :D

Seems that anything higher than that, and it would just freeze or become incredible unstable! :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PatcheZ:
ditto that
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mehumummo:
691 is max stable. 3 months old European Hero.

710 starts eventually loop boot animation.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
I found that there is little to no difference between 691 and any above.

So I keep mine at 691.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skeeve666:
currantly 156>710 i can push it up to 756 but a tad unstable. but been running at that for over a week now..

Mine is stable at 653 mHz... However it's almost a year old (it's birthday is 7. of august)

729 @ Villain 12 is the limit.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ExMM:
I'm running on 3UK at 729mhz... but I can go up to 749, although sometimes it reboot by itself...I guess also depend on the rom... I have sense Ui (it's heavy) maybe without would run even faster with no problem....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aspromalee:
OK, I used my Tilt for everything. And I ususally get laughed at from friends cuz I have my checkbook as a spreadsheet, take notes for meetings, etc. on it.

However, I find that tying in Word, trying to cut and paste, etc., is almost impossible on my Tilt2. Is anyone else having this issue. For a recent convention I went to, I broke out my old Tilt to take noted on cuz it was faster to do so. Is there a setting I'm missing? A better keyboard I'm missing? Or something to make my Tilt2 MORE useful to me? I find everything else is OK, but I use mine for note taking all the time!!!! What can I do? Suggestions?!?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
have you tried using swype to imput data...??? once you get the hang of it, it is a much faster way of typing...just a thought...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
I just use the stylus
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
For portrait mode, I'm using SPB Keyboard, which allows me to use the CTL key to do standard cut paste. However, what I generally do is open the hardware keyboard, the use the shift key and LEFT or RIGHT key to highlight. From there one can simply hold the stylus, or even hold the hardware CTL key + C to copy to the clipboard.

Otherwise, you have to hold the screen and enable text selection. But that generally doesn't seem to do me much good.

I don't like the select/cut/paste of the MS Mobile Office with the newer OS versions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aspromalee:
I don't have it, and the beta tests are done. Any way to .cab it to me? It looks good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:

[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I only use 3 home screens and would like it so that when I press home (when I'm on page 1 or 3 for example) it takes me to the middle screen. Currently it takes me to the 3rd screen and it's driving me crazy. Even when I add a4th screen then it goes to the 4th. Has anyone found a way to set which screen to make the default?
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
There is already a thread on T-Mo's forums. Looks to be a bug, it always goes to page 4 regardless of how many pages you have.

My solution was just to add all the pages back and just leave the outside pages blank :shrug:
[Vibrant General] down8:
Same here. I only need 2 screens, but keeping 7 for now.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Connect the phone to pc and try the command "adb reboot recovery". I had a similar issue, adb devices showed nothing but issuing that command somehow forced it back into my recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwterminator:
If you rooted using toast's method, then your hboot should be 0.76 not 79. What you can try is reflashing the pc36img.zip from toasts method. You can use/acquire a card reader to connect your sdcard up directly to your computer and copy the pc36img onto it. Then boot into hboot and it should scan and find the image on your card.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwterminator:
Ok, the indication here is that you've lost root access by having installed the sprint ota update. Are you unable to get to recovery via hboot? If you can get there, you might be able to restore a nand backup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyabiziz:

If your NAND is still unlocked then after completing the above your hboot will have been downgraded. Please report back so that I may know if I did point you in the right direction.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
Since it doesnt feature the 850mhz frequency, how well does this perform on AT&T's service? particularly the southeast region?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's a Quad band phone in GSM

as long as your carrier can use any of those, then you'll be fine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kurtkbee:
Voice calls are great. (quick story):

I drive home from work along Route 202 in NJ and have always had 3 really bad dead zones (actually 4 but the last one is hit or miss). I know the dead zones so well that I start telling people that I will call them back when I lose signal (before its dropped). Well I stopped using my iPhone 3G and migrated to the Samsung Galaxy S and what is amazing is that I have only one area that is still dropping calls (the longest dead zone). So this was not saying the galaxy S is good, it just says that most of the cursing of AT&T that I did was possibly because of the crappy iPhone.

Regarding Data; I see no difference that with my iPhone, except when I go to Manhattan (NYC) where I get mainly Edge and some 3G. At home and work (most places in NJ) I get HSDPA (?) (you know the "H" signal) and I have great download speeds (upload sucks so does latency)

The results here:

http://www.speedtest.net/android/7113153.png

Great (super) Phone

3 issue remain for me though:

1) Fix the Damn GPS issues

2) Properly support the enterprise email (sorry Exchange is a requirement for most serious business phone....the definition of a smart phone) *

3) Get a standard and solid copy and paste solution (iPhone is the best, Blackberry is also good, android SUCKS)*

* only issue (1) is unique to hardware/firmware issues (2-3) are for google to fix!

Update:Please note I have an unlocked/imported SGS. the only ones I would have trusted to not be too dumbed down are the Sprint, Tmobile and Verizon versions (I needed a GSM phone and I hate Tmobile). AT&T's version changes things too much and the phone scores less than the other (rebranded) SGS's on all the benchmarks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
hmm, so should i grab the tmobile version of it or should i get the unlocked SGS? i think the main differences is the tmobile/att versions add the gyroscope, but take away the front camera...theres no other real changes correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
From June 14th

"Samsung claims the Galaxy S showed 20 percent greater success rate of transmission and reception than any other smartphone out on market when they were tested in mountainous and major commercial areas."

I assume this relates to the international version, with possible similar service levels for US carriers but that would depend partially on the carrier and frequencies (though it still could be relatively better than the carriers other offerings). Then again, it is Samsung, so it's biased and we don't know their testing procedure.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
so should i get the captivate or should i get the unlocked i9000? the only differences are the front camera and gyroscope right?

[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
Suggestions for a mod: Because the power button is hard to push as is, would it be a possible to have the phone wake up on one push of the power button and a second push (before the phone goes back to sleep) unlocks the screen.

seems like this would be easier than pushing the power button then having to sweep the screen to unlock.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
I like this idea. I think it would make unlocking the screen so much easier.

No Lock does not stick on reboot, but no big deal. its easy to start, takes a smidgen of memory, and takes away the double lock annoyance for me. ;) option for no lock should be implemented into the base options, or any custom rom..... ;)

renegadedj, is there a benefit by having your microsd card partitioned like that for the vibrant? do you use apps2sd?

what we really need is a physical camera shutter button.

actually i realized it was still like that today and gparted it back to use the full sd card. no ext3 no swap :)

i read there's a lag fix using an ext partition, but i did the nand fix, and i'm waiting for the official fix before i mess with the sd card anymore.... gotta change my sig. ;)
[Vibrant General] Greenarcher707:
Gotcha. I'll probably use the nand fix for now until we get a stable fix.
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
also, i don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when i have locking disabled, which this is making sense, i can use the volume buttons to also unlock the screen. i say this makes sense because no lock disabling the lock would makes sense to be able to use any button to unlock the screen. but if that was the case i would think the 4 softbuttons on the bottom would do it too...

so i don't know if this is just an issue on this phone or not... will have to research for my answer...

With locking disabled, I'm not able to unlock the phone with the volume buttons. Only the power button works.
